BENEFITS AND FEATURES

As you progress towards a more sustainable business model, the Cat 777G can help.

Fuel and Emissions

• There are substantial fuel saving strategies on the 777G
• Two fuel economy modes can be adjusted to meet your daily production needs

Sound

• Operator noise is reduced by 50%
• Spectator noise levels can be lowered up to 50% with the optional “XQ” package

Component Life

A strategy for lowering your cost per ton

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

The 777G introduces several key fuel conservation features:

• Auto Neutral Idle - as the 777G idles in a forward gear, the transmission will automatically slip in and out of a neutral state to avoid stalling the torque converter and raising engine rpm.
• Engine Idle Shutdown - when your G Series truck is in park and idles for more than a preset time, the truck will initiate engine shutdown to conserve fuel. This feature can be time adjusted or turned on or off according to your specific needs.
• Speed Limiting - while you can continue to gear limit your G Series trucks, Caterpillar offers speed limiting that allows the truck to travel at a more fuel efficient engine speed and gear selection.
• Transmission Controls - New APECS transmission controls increase fuel efficiency by maintaining momentum and speed on grade.

Economy Modes

• Standard Economy Mode - G Series can save fuel by adjusting engine power through this newly adjustable economy mode. Adjust the power based on your site, fleet and economic conditions. The power can be reduced from 0.5 to 15 percent.
• Adaptive Economy Mode - New for G Series - this economy mode requires a baseline for production from you using the Advisor display. As the truck transits the haul cycle, it is constantly evaluating its ability to meet your baseline in a reduced power rating. Where full power is needed, full power is applied, where reduced power works, reduced power is applied. It’s fully automatic with no special operation required.

Efficient application of power and technology

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

The 777G will haul your material faster and more efficiently with increases in torque, new transmission controls and higher travel speeds.

• A 7% increase in torque puts more power to the ground
• New transmission controls carry more torque through the shifts, producing faster cycle times, most noticeably on grades
• An increase in travel speed in 7th gear also helps generate faster cycle times

Traction Control G Series introduces benefits to your fleet when running in wet conditions by introducing a more responsive traction controls system.

• The system is steering sensitive to determine slip vs. high speed turns
• The system engages at slower speeds returning traction sooner
• The system engages sooner in the slip, potentially reducing tire wear
• The system modulates instantly between the two wheel groups for control
• Using the hydraulic service brakes facilitates the instant modulation and responsiveness
